Sugar Fish was dead-on about using a 2mm slotted screwdriver! But I must say, I’m not sure why this step is here at this point in the guide. I went ahead and removed the clip back in Step 4, after having removed the RAM, with no adverse issues.

It may be helpful to note that there are two side by side - you want the one holding the bracket to the AirPort cage - it will be on the left as this picture is oriented. A little hard to spot under the edge of the silver shield...

They aren't kidding about the "large multi color" cable. A pair of hemostats and very careful wiggling will do it - NB: the lower portion of the plug, the white plastic holding the pins upright and separate, actually came significantly up, almost off - watch for that and (carefully, of course) gently press it back down - it sits flush on the board surface.

Two other connectors need to be disconnected before you can take out the logic board. One is the power connector which is out of the frame of this photo to the bottom right. The other is the audio connector, out of the frame of this photo to the bottom left, on the left side of the board.

Open the display to a 90 degree angle. Rest the trackpad face down on the work surface and allow the display to hang over the edge. If possible, adjust your chair or work surface height so the display will rest on your legs and the trackpad will lie flat on the work surface.

Remove the four T8 Torx screws that fasten the display to the trackpad. The screw closest to the display data cable has a tapered head.

As you remove the screws that connect the display to the trackpad, the display will detach from the base of the laptop. As the display is now hanging over the side of your work surface, it will fall off when you detach the last screw connecting the display to the trackpad. Be certain not to let it fall and put strain on the inverter cable.
